I would also be interested to know if this is possible.

I don't know if this is the right forum to post this in, but I thought I would start here: Has anyone written a script (VB or otherwise) that runs on the local workstation, or developed some other automated way to remove a workstation from the domain before Ghosting? We don't want to go in and remove all the workstations that are going to be Ghosted that night at 3:00 AM by hand. It would be nice if we could run a script in Windows on each workstation, or on the server that removed itself or a group of machines from the domain before Ghosting, or on the CD we use to boot to DOS to Ghost the PC's. We are talking about 50-100 different workstations per night that will need to be removed. They might be the same every week or they may forget one or two, so I don't think we can pull from a file to get the workstation names. Any thoughts on this? If you need further clarification, let me know. Thanks, Matthew

The comma worked like a charm. Thanks!

Ok, I'll try the comma. The 1 and 2 thing did not work. Thanks!

I have been using a slipstreamed XP CD for awhile, but have had the firewall turned off. I am turning the firewall on, and trying to open some ports and programs. I have successfully opened the fist port (VNC), but it will not open the second port (RPM). Does anyone see anything wrong with what I am doing, or can anyone tell me how to do it properly? Thanks!

I am specifically curious how to do the unattended portion. I think I can do the SP1 Slipstreamed part just fine because I did it with the Non SP1 version. I would like to find out if and how you can give XP all the information without user intervention.

If anyone knows how to do this, I also would be very interested. We would like to get as much interaction out of the users hands as possible, and this would be great.
